    A fridge definitely doesn’t draw 1500 W continuously. You might be thinking of the start-up surge power draw

    My double-door draws 300 W while the compressor is running (average power is obviously a lot less than that)

      That would be one hell of a fridge if it did! But my number was meant as an illustration of how the math works, not necessarily accurate to any specific refrigeration device.
